Nina's POV
It was field trip day, I could not go since well, Gran didn't sing my slip. So I was stretched out on the couch reading Wake by Lisa McMann. They should have been home by now, but I figured that either a-there was traffic or b-Jerome and Alfie are misbehaving and making them late.
"Yeah, but you have to admit that was so funny!" Joy and Fabian came through the front door laughing. I sat up and put my book in my lap. Everyone else followed them.
"Hey how was the trip?" I asked them, mostly Fabian.
"Good.","Okay.", and "Awesome." Chorused at me. Fabian and Joy continued to talk and laugh. They went into the kitchen, I followed them.
"Hey Fabian want to do something later?" I asked him, holding onto his arm.
"Me and Joy made plans, you know to catch up, and then I am a little tired. Sorry Nina. Tomorrow?" He asked and I nodded. He kissed my check and then with Joy. I stood there in the kitchen, watching them go.
"Please fasten your seatbelts, we are beginning our landing." The voice on the intercom announced. I wonder if they even miss me. Probably a little, but at least Joy can have Fabian. Pretty soon I will just be Nina the American. Not Nina the chosen one or Nina, my chosen one.
I got off the plane and checked my phone. Amber had called me. I'll call her back later. I picked up the old suitcase out of the baggage claim and went on my way. I called Amber back. She answered and told me to get my butt over there. Not her exact words and I told her I couldn't but I promised her I would keep in touch. A lie. And hung up. Before I left I grabbed a twix bar and left.
"Hey Nina!" Gran greeted me when she saw me. I smiled.
"Hey." I hugged her and breathed in her scent. A hint of jasmine, tea, and sugar cookies, and some of that vanilla perfume that she wears. The scent was so strange but familiar at the same time.
"How 'bout we go out to eat. At your favorite place?" She asked, smiling.
"Waters edge?" I asked getting all giddy and happy. Waters edge is a small diner by the ocean and I've been going there since I was a little girl.
"Yes. I'm just so happy to have my little Nina back." Gran hates that place, it smells like fish and she hates fish.
"Thank you." I say hugging her waist and then we start waking. Me, arms around her waist smiling and laughing. Forgetting about my boarding school life for the rest of the day.
So? What do you think? Maybe a POV from someone(s) in England? Or just on Nina? Also should it be Fina, Jabian or some OC?
